I interpret > the star illuminating the surrounding gas with radiation to mean that we're looking at the spectra of the gas around the star, or at best the corona or maybe the surface of the star. I think it's very difficult fo

I think it's not as simple as "action x => result y". it's a messy art more than a science. Apple is trying x, y, and z. Google tried a, b, and c. Both companies have different circumstances, different employees, diff

I'm pretty sure prehistoric people did have primitive tooth care, didn't eat junk food and high-sugar diets, and still had nasty teeth.

I've had a similar experience. I was really excited to tutor at my bootcamp after graduating, but after enough people no-showed for tutoring, or turned up with blank homework assignments and making no effort to look things up, I just s

So, you've dodged the question of who he is. How about the question of why his identity must be kept secret? It sounds like anyone anywhere near him would know who you're talking about anyway

It's not... you can feel really good or bad about something, but also be completely open to having your opinion shaped by new information and be willing to switch. That's what it means. As opposed to strongly holding opinions (whe

I can see how this sounds good, but my first reaction is that I think it is the kind of thing that would work great in a really good team that wouldn't even need it, and it would be awful for juniors in the kind of team that would get

there is an easy answer if your code isn't written in a way that obfuscates its functionality to the maintainer...

No, models predict that an extremely short amount of time elapsed before this. Like orders of magnitude less than 1 second. However, we know our models are not perfectly accurate, so it is possible there is something else very weird going o

It's an arbitrary line, but you might say that a biological phenomenon such as mountain lion or even sunflower has a different meaning of "do what they do" form a purely physical one such as a black hole, quicksand, or a volc

if it's statically generated, yes. you can write an entire site in React using eg GatsbyJS, and it will be built ahead of time, and pages will be available as static HTML.

Very good points, thanks for sharing

You may never see this, but I want to clarify. I have no qualms about jumping ship; I have and will again. I was referring to the morality of doing bad work and propelling oneself upward on the good work of teammates. Writing code that work

What is the edge of the universe? How would you define that? In most models, the universe doesn't have anything that could be called an edge. Unless you are referring to the boundary of the local universe, which is defined as the spher

We can actually already see that time period, in its present form. It's called the Cosmic Microwave Background. It is the (now extremely cold) energy which permeated the entire universe in that very early time period. The entire unive

Gardening is free? Maybe if you invest 3-12 months in making your own compost first, inherit a few tools, have a good amount of arable soil on your property, and collect seeds/cuttings from friends who are already accomplished gardener

That's a very good point about things like voice assistant, but I don't think your conclusion is right. We do have voice assistant technology and it's widespread and a lot of people use it daily. It's a wild scifi techno

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this, I find it to be far and away the biggest reason for me to avoid calls. so many problems don't just happen once, and I find that the people who prefer to jump on calls are a

Can you explain why you feel that way? I only know JS and TS, and I love TS. With both languages, I understand I'm missing out on a lot, but I kind of assumed that was normal with my level of study (that is, reading in depth to fix bug

I don't love the proliferation of SAAS, but your analogy isn't very solid. You don't pay upkeep on your hammer because it doesn't change. If it gets damaged, you do pay for repairs (although you probably don't go to

Hm, I have the exact opposite interpretation. This is exactly the kind of feature that leads to arguments. If `unless` didn't exist, what argument could people be having about using `if !`? In a shared codebase, I think there should be
